Her poems travel through feelings of
solitude, identity, beauty, pain, and resilience—often using accessible
language with evocative imagery. Consider these examples from her featured works:
- “I am never alone / With books as my constant friends /
I am always at home.”
This piece ties comfort to literature—painting reading not just as
pastime, but sanctuary

woman I see…”
A reflection on self-doubt, body image, and internal struggle for self-
“I am beautiful when I wake up / I am beautiful when I cry…”
An affirmation that beauty exists beyond external perceptions and remains
even in solitude and sorrow

masterpiece divine... Sometimes life is cruel and unfair.”
Capturing life’s contradictions—from its beauty to its inherent
challenges—with poignant, layered metaphors.
These short, reflective verses feel
like quiet conversations with oneself—honest, vulnerable, and comforting.

romance
The sky is blue.
The sea is beautiful and calm
the waves kiss the shore —
sweet romance
your friendship
I confess
the truth is
your friendship
Touched me once and
Left a mark on me
release me
An endangered generation, our future getting dimmer
A morbid sensation
Release me with a release
Free me with freedom
Give me peace
give me love
give me silence
Show me the way out of this prison
Indeed the world is a stage,
And we are merely actors.
I am the set
atop the stage.
I am the scene
on the screen.
When I miss your soul..
When
When I miss your soul,
I send my heart,
hidden explorer, to you
I imagine we are together again,
at least for a few moments,
and our souls thread like in the old times…
you are my inspiration
You are my special friend
your friendship is like a flower
beautiful and fragrant
your friendship is like the snow
pure and sparkling
dear friend
you are my priceless inspiration
Happiness
Are you happy ?
Yes...
Why are you happy?
I just learned how to love myself.
You will..
Your sympathy I avoid
I don't need the sympathy
I love you and you don't feel the same
You are Insensitive.
I do not want your sigh.
I do not want your pity.
You will not see me cry.
my path
My path is filled with thorns
my heart are bleeding
my soul are scratched
I can’t see anything because all is covered by fog,
but I keep going on this thorny path.

Red rose in a dew

Our love is like a dream come true
Free from pain and suffering,
A better future.
I want ..
I don’t want to swim
in your ocean of tears
…i want to be happy
I walk
I walk in the woods with the wind
As the sun sets and I am left on my own
I talk to the tress all night and they whisper back
Making me realise, I'm still breathing and I am not alone
Found
I found you,
I found me in you.
Talk to me softly, in my ear,
Whisper away all desires.
Whisper me softly-into happiness
you
You kiss me slowly
And my heart beats fast
The world is nonexistent
Keep me in arms reach.
Give me inspiration.
Give me a reason to be good,
Free-spirited,
Brave.
Be with me
our love
We walk..
Our first kiss
Sweet than sugar..
To be continued
you and me
You and Me
Happiness spread out
What a lovely scene.

Peace and love
Look for you good
Living your truth
Following your heart
You are..
You are the reason I fell in love with the light.
You are the reason I sought a way out of the darkness.
You are the reason I stayed.
You are the reason I love you
You are the reason I need you.
Signed,

Day
The sun shines bright,
But my days are always dark-
Lonely days
I met you
I met you in my dreams
somewhere
you and i are alive and together
i am only dreaming of you
and i hope you only dream of me.
I confess
Dear

thank you for sharing
this time and space
with me

red tulips on my tongue
white tulips on my heart

When you look at me
Because I know
For one split second
I was on your mind
opposites
the cold of your soul
the warmth of mine
it was in the
opposites
that it all made sense
the cold of your heart
the warmth of mine
it was in the
opposites
that it all made sense
Opposites attract
Your name

your name like a melody unforgettable
Dear friend
of all the names invented
your is most beautiful
In your eyes
I see the goodness
I see the joy
I find my pace and happiness
Life
The meaning of life
is about getting to knowwho we really are
wink at me
I don't need anyone to keep me company
When the Universe is with me at all times
wink at me
When I feel lonely inside.
When I see you
when I see you I see no darkness in you.
I see only light
everything else
my heart flutters.
I left the darkness behind me,
surrounded by bright pure, joyful light.
Today
today, i woke up and i was happy
for the first time in a long time
a sunday morning
needed
hugs needed
my brain is horrible today
it hates everyone
except you
hold me tighter
I say
hold me till the flowers bloom
love
we can start over
as many times as we needthat’s love
You are the scent of me
I confess
the truth is
Today, the world cold.
The rise of sun gives me hope.
You are the scent of me.
The gloom will disappear very soon.
The disappointment will disappear very soon.
Your smile gives me hope.
My hand gently caresses
The chords of your soul
My eyes gently caresses
the chords of your heart
slowly and gently
We play our beautiful song
You are the symphony of me.
Love is like a beautiful symphony.
